TAKE me to thy heart, and let me Rest my head a little while; Rest my heart from griefs that fret me In the mercy of thy smile. In a twilight pause of feeling, Time to say a moment's grace, Put thy hands, whose touch is healing, Put them gently on my face. Found too late in Life's wild welter, All I ask, for weal and woe, Friend, a moment's friendly shelter, And thy blessing ere I go. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WHITE RABBIT by KAREN SWENSON TO MY HONORED FRIEND SIR ROBERT HOWARD by JOHN DRYDEN THE CHOIRMASTER'S BURIAL by THOMAS HARDY STILL FALLS THE RAIN; THE RAIDS, 1940.
